Have you thought of a test you could do without cutting holes? (I checked and Pitot tube systems aren't cheap enough to be worth messing with.)

You could always put a scoop on top of the vents for track days if it doesn't do enough alone. Use a bigger scoop if you need more cooling that day.
thanks, I thought it was probably a low pressure area. there really isn't a good way to run the hoses down from the fangs to the wheel wells. maybe just ducted fans from the engine compartment would be good enough.
